OnPoint Community Credit Union is set to expand its presence in the Pacific Northwest with the upcoming opening of its newest branch, strategically located in the Reed’s Crossing Town Center. The new facility, situated at 7833 S.E. Blanton St., is scheduled to open its doors to the public on Friday, August 8.
This marks a significant milestone for OnPoint, as it represents their third branch within the city of Hillsboro and their 58th location overall. The expansion underscores OnPoint’s continued growth and its established position as Oregon’s largest credit union. Founded in 1932, the institution began its journey as Portland Teachers Credit Union, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to serving its members and the broader community.
Community Partnership and Investment
In conjunction with the new branch opening, OnPoint Community Credit Union is demonstrating its dedication to community support through a substantial donation. The credit union announced a $5,000 contribution to the Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center (POIC). This non-profit organization plays a vital role in the Portland metropolitan area, providing essential education, mentoring, family outreach, and job training services. POIC focuses its efforts on supporting underserved youth, adults, and families, aiming to empower them for success.
Charles Manigo, program manager at the Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center, expressed profound gratitude for OnPoint’s generous contribution. He highlighted the critical nature of such support, stating that the donation will be instrumental in empowering more individuals to achieve their personal and professional goals. The partnership between OnPoint and POIC exemplifies a shared commitment to fostering economic opportunity and community well-being.
OnPoint’s Growth Trajectory
The opening of the Reed’s Crossing branch is a testament to OnPoint’s sustained expansion strategy. As Oregon’s largest credit union, the institution has consistently grown its network and services since its inception as Portland Teachers Credit Union. This expansion into Hillsboro’s Reed’s Crossing Town Center not only enhances accessibility for existing and potential members in that area but also reinforces OnPoint’s deep roots in the region. The credit union’s history, dating back to 1932, is one of steady development and adaptation to the evolving financial needs of its community.
Impact on Hillsboro and Beyond
The addition of a third branch in Hillsboro signifies OnPoint’s investment in the local economy and its commitment to serving the residents of this growing community. Credit unions, by their nature, are member-owned financial cooperatives, often prioritizing community development and financial education. OnPoint’s presence at Reed’s Crossing is expected to bring new banking services and opportunities to the area, complementing the vibrant atmosphere of the town center. The $5,000 donation to POIC further solidifies this commitment, directly benefiting organizations that uplift vulnerable populations within the broader Portland metro area.
A Foundation of Service
From its origins as Portland Teachers Credit Union nearly a century ago, OnPoint has evolved into a significant financial institution. Its continued expansion, marked by the upcoming Reed’s Crossing branch opening, is built upon a foundation of member-focused service and community engagement. The partnership with the Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center underscores this ethos, ensuring that the credit union’s growth also translates into tangible benefits for those striving for a better future. The anticipation for the August 8 opening at 7833 S.E. Blanton St. is high, signaling another chapter in OnPoint’s ongoing success story.
